Luck egalitarianism and non‐overlapping generations

چکیده
This paper argues that there are good reasons to limit the scope of luck egalitarianism co-existing people. First, I outline be sceptical about how “luck” works intergenerationally and therefore very grounding between non-overlapping generations. Second, argue what Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen calls “core egalitarian claim” allows significant intergenerational inequality which is a problem for those who object such inequality. Third, cannot accommodate intuition it might required leave future generations better off than we are, even if would come at no cost ourselves. Finally, following another, broader, version require us level down possibly ourselves, persuaded by levelling-down objection.

Luck Egalitarianism and Political Solidarity

متن کاملEgalitarianism, option luck and insurance markets

Dworkin’s concep...
متن کاملTough luck and tough choices: applying luck egalitarianism to oral health.

Luck egalitarians respond to such objections partly by pointing to a number of factors pertaining to the cases being debated, which suggests that their stance is less inattentive to the plight of the vic...
متن کاملNeutral Genetic Patterns for Expanding Populations with Nonoverlapping Generations.
We investigate the inside dynamics of solutions to integrodifference equations to understand the genetic consequences of a population with nonoverlapping generations undergoing range expansion. To obtain the inside dynamics, we decompose the solution into neutral genetic components. The inside dynamics are given by the spatiotemporal evolution of the neutral genetic components. We consider thin...
متن کاملDrinking in the last chance saloon: luck egalitarianism, alcohol consumption, and the organ transplant waiting list.
The scarcity of livers available for transplants forces tough choices upon us. Lives for those not receiving a transplant are likely to be short. One large group of potential recipients needs a new liver because of alcohol consumption, while others suffer for reasons unrelated to their own behaviour. Should the former group receive lower priority when scarce livers are allocated? This discussio...
